Will be nice when the flames get giordano back:
Giordano-Brodie
Wideman-Russell
Smid-Butler/O'Brian
Not a high end defence like boston... But we'll have a good mix of speed, skill, and grit. Plus Smid's known for his shot blocking which fits well with the rest of this Calgary squad. I also think this will help take some pressure off of wideman... You can see that Hartley has been trying to pull back on his minutes lately so it will be nice to be able to use Smid to help with that as well.
